This is a topic which requires no serious debate. Anyone who can actually catch a bullet has to be pretty amazing. We're talking about something which has the ability to cause death to any normal person (well, in Real Life anyway), and here somebody just grabs it mid-air. How unbelievably cool is that? Sometimes a superpowered character will take it further, flicking the bullet ''back'' to the shooter with the power of the gun (or even more powerful), injuring or killing them instead. Even more so than its sister trope, Arrow Catch, Bullet Catch is not even close to something anyone can actually do in Real Life. Bullets move faster than the speed of sound, and no human has the physical capability of slowing one down with their pathetic meatbag bodies. Even if you could move your hand in time to catch it, your hand is too soft, and it'll simply tear through your flesh. And even if your hand was somehow tough enough to actually catch the bullet, again remember that a bullet is moving fast, and all that kinetic energy has to go somewhere...meaning it will turn into a ton of heat, quickly melt the bullet, and scorch your hand, making the dramatic holding of the pristine caught bullet completely moot. Note that to a superpowered character, this is a much easier feat, justified in that they have, well, superpowers. Although eventually you have to wonder whether it would be easier to let them bounce off or just avoid them altogether. Catching a bullet in the teeth, instead of a hand, is a common variant. See Catch and Return for this trope plus a follow up move. Also see this trope's Sword Counterpart, Barehanded Blade Block. Compare Finger in a Barrel and Parrying Bullets. |

Watchmen: Ozymandias claims his physical fitness is such that he could catch a bullet. Shortly thereafter, he actually does, though he admits he wasn't sure he could really do it, and it does injure his hand. In the film version, he has an inch-thick padding on his palm, into which the bullet sinks (but still breaks the skin). The bullet's momentum also causes him to lose his footing and go tumbling down the stairs, leaving him stunned for a few moments at the bottom. | |

Optional in Big Eyes, Small Mouth. Two abilities, Deflection and Reflection respectively, allow a character to catch or deflect any incoming missile, and subsequently fire it back at the attacker that initially launched/threw/fired it. The mechanics don't specify what sorts of attacks can and can't be deflected, leaving it up to the GM's discretion. | |

In The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader does this. With blasters. Then force pulling the blaster out of Han's hand before sitting down to dinner. The Expanded Universe confirms that Vader absorbed the blaster bolts after catching them.

In Symphogear AXZ's eighth episode, Badass Normal Genjuurou beats all six main characters by himself during a training session. That includes catching a barrage of missiles from Chris's Megadeth Party with his bare hands and then he throws them back at her all at once. (The strange part is that she fires 24 missiles at him, he catches eight and then throws twelve back at her and they ended up being 17.) | |

MythBusters tested the catch-a-bullet-in-your-teeth myth. To say the myth was busted is an understatement. They couldn't even get close to theoretically doing it. Not only is human reaction time nowhere near fast enough to catch a bullet, but molars of a PIG (which are larger and stronger than our teeth) couldn't survive a bullet, so never mind the thin teeth at the front of your mouth which is where most magicians catch bullets. They also tested the variant of a ninja swatting away a bullet. Needless to say, it was busted. Human reaction time only gets the hand moving after the bullet has passed. Even if the hand somehow made contact, the bullet would still plow through the soft flesh and keep going into its target. |

In The Matrix, Neo stops bullets in mid-air simply by holding up his hand. Plucking one of the frozen bullets out of the air afterwards and casually dropping it on the floor only adds to the coolness factor. Justified because he does it within the Matrix, which is Inside a Computer System, in which he has superpowers due to the programming. | |

The primary mechanic in Mars Matrix. Your Mosquito is equipped with a shield that can catch bullets.

The Flash: Snatching bullets out of the air is a standard tactic of pretty much all of the speedsters in The DCU. Jay Garrick is seen doing this on the cover of Flash Comics #1 (from 1941). Wally West had one instance that parodied just how easy this is for speedsters. A psycho with an Uzi opened up on a room and Wally walked around picking a half dozen bullets out of the air, and disarming the man in a very casual manner. He misses one bullet that then kills an exit sign when he returns his perception of time to normal. |

The Dragon Ball franchise does this so many times. In Dragon Ball, the Muten-Roshi's island gets attacked by the Red Ribbon Army, who think the old man must be the scientist behind the Dragon Radar. A conclusion they reached purely because he's an old man. At one point in the ensuing fight, a soldier opens up at Kame-sen'nin's back with an automatic rifle. The old master spins around and grabs all the bullets without much apparent effort. When the Crane Hermit pisses off evil Lunch she pulls out a machine gun, unloads an entire magazine on Crane, all of which he catches. Undeterred she reloads and lets loose another full magazine, which he also catches. In the very first scene of Dragon Ball Z, Raditz caught a farmer's bullet, and flicked it back at him with the force of the rifle. In a Cell Saga filler episode, Goku casually catches a bullet fired at him by a mobster. By this point, he's so ridiculously powerful that he's more confused by the attack than anything. Gohan often does this as "The Great Saiyaman" when going up against armed crooks. Dragon Ball Super: Goku effortlessly catches the bullets from an automatic gun when confronted by thieves, and Krillin failing to stop a bullet (it just bruises him) is treated as a sign that he's getting rusty. |

BioShock Infinite has the "Return to Sender" Vigor, which lets Booker create a magnetic force field in front of him. By holding it, he can collect bullets and send them back at the enemy. Subverted in the original two games, where it's mentioned Telekinesis can't be used to stop bullets; the human brain simply can't react fast enough to a gunshot for the power to affect the projectile. It can, however, be used to Catch and Return grenades, as those are moving at human throwing speeds. |

Played with in the Spirit of the Century supplement Strange Tales of the Century. The literal "Catch the Bullet" stunt doesn't actually allow a character who has it to catch a bullet — but it does let them fake it convincingly enough that they get to use their Sleight of Hand skill to defend against the attack (presumably from long practice) and, if successful, make an immediate intimidation attempt against their attacker afterwards. | |

Downplayed in Mr. Right. The hitman Steve is given an "Elmer Fudd shotgun" that is so weak that Francis can block the pellets with his palm. It is very painful and some of the pellets went past his hand and hit him in the face, but all this does is make his hand and face bleed a little. Steve then complains about how lame the weapon he had been given is. | |

The Great Merlini: The climax of Death from a Top Hat is a performance of the bullet catch trick. The murderer tried to sabotage the trick to eliminate a potential witness against him (namely, the person performing the trick). Unfortunately for the murderer, the whole trick had been set up as a trap; among the additions was a trick shot specialist firing the gun with orders to miss. Merlini alludes to one of the stories in the Real Life folder at the end of The Footprints on the Ceiling. He'd just been asked by the District Attorney to perform the Bullet Catch trick at the Policeman's Benefit Ball, and was worried about having an armed audience. | |

Pathfinder has guns in its canonical setting, and characters can use the Deflect Arrows or Snatch Arrows feat against all ranged attacks that are not unusually massive (such as cannonballs or ballista bolts) or spells. As a consequence, a first-level character built to do this can snag a bullet fired at them once every six seconds as long as they have a free hand and can see it coming. | |

Desperately Seeking Ranma features superpowered people, so this comes up. When Yori does this to save a government agent, he's amazed..and doubly so at how Yori didn't care about the bullet that hit her any more than the hole in her shirt. Yori and Choi then pass it on to the girls around them, who then teach Ami..by bringing her with to a heist gone wrong to cheer her up (it worked) and the final suspect is told to keep firing to help get in practice (before breaking down in tears once the gun's empty). Later, in showing off bullet catching on a professional gun range with serious types who do NOT believe in Hollywood Gun Safety, Aiko hops over into the lane and invites a shot ... and goes down in a heap. Then, as she's one of the aforementioned magical girls and overtly so at this point, she springs back to her feet while the poor mundanes grumble. | |

Wonder Woman (2017): Technically, Diana is just reacting fast enough to block them with her bracelets, and while the traditional "crossed wrists" and upturned fist poses show up, the manner in which she blocks the bullets almost looks like she is catching them. Humorously, she blocks one bullet from striking Steve and the ricochet landed in Steve's hand, but since it was recently fired it is hot and he reacts accordingly. | |

In X-Men: Days of Future Past, Quicksilver doesn't so much catch the bullets as push them out of the way with his finger, so they all miss the other mutants when he exits Bullet Time. That's after putting on his goggles, cranking up "If I Could Save Time in a Bottle" on his Stereobelt player, rearranging the shooters so that they all knock each other out, and sampling some spilled soup that is hanging in midair. Quicksilver is just that fast. | |

The Flash (2014): Unsurprisingly, Barry and other speedsters either dodge or catch a lot of bullets. The first time Barry has to do so, it's a surprise attack from behind and the bullet breaks the skin of his neck before he can stop it. He gets better at it as the show goes on and he keeps improving on his speed. By season four, he's gotten so used to it he looks downright bored. Zoom manages to catch an entire volley of bullets fired by the Central City Police Department with one hand. This happens in the 1990 series as well, which makes Pollux's Stupid Sacrifice all the more jarring. |

Lucky Luke: Featured (well, subverted) in "Fingers". Joe Dalton is about to shoot an unarmed Luke when Fingers (who had been playing cards with that Daltons) holds his hand in front of the gun and says that shooting Luke "wouldn't be nice". Joe fires anyway and Fingers catches the bullet. Joe then shoots Fingers in the face and he catches the bullet with his teeth. Luke then grabs Joe's gun only for Fingers to tell him that he had earlier switched all of the bullets in that gun with blanks so it would be "safer for playing cards": the rest was all due to Fingers' near supernatural sleight-of-hand. | |

The Missile Deflection power in Champions has several different levels of ability (which each cost a few more points than the one before it) that lets you knock away arrows, bullets, cannon shells, and other ranged attacks, up to and including lasers and other energy beams. Simplified a bit (and renamed to Deflection) in 6th edition, but works the same. |

In The Incredible Hulk (2008), the Abomination catches a rocket out of the air and headbutts it so it would explode on his face. Needless to say, the soldiers who witness it are pretty intimidated, which seems to have been the purpose. | |

Superman: Superman sometimes does this along with his trademark "get shot a lot, bullets bounce off" thing, by catching the bullets as they ricochet off of him so they won't harm any bystanders. He's even fast enough to catch bullets he fired. The Golden Age Superman did this (at nearly point-blank range) to scare the crap out of a crook. In Superman: Birthright, he does it to a gun seller who enabled a school shooting. Subverted in Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes. After being sent forward to the 31st Century, Superman is attacked by a bunch of police. He casually puts his hand up to catch the lasers from their guns... and they go straight through his hand, badly injuring him. He then learns that 31st Century Earth's sun is now red, rendering him powerless. On another occasion, while catching a bullet fired at Jimmy Olsen from across a room, Superman took the time to stuff wads of cotton in Lois and Jimmy's ears to protect them from the sonic boom caused by his passage. He doesn't specify whether he just carries cotton with him or if he had to stop and pick some on the way. |

DC Extended Universe: An Invoked Trope in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Batman fires a 40mm grenade at Superman, only for the Man of Steel to grab it in front of his face. Meaning the grenade is at exactly the right distance when it explodes, giving Superman a faceful of Kryptonite gas. So this was likely a literal Batman Gambit by the firer. The Flash (2023). A mercenary fires his pistol at Batman's face which isn't protected by armor. Supergirl flies up in Bullet Time and does a palm strike that catches the bullet and then slams the pistol into the merc's face. Wonder Woman (2017): Technically, Diana is just reacting fast enough to block them with her bracelets, and while the traditional "crossed wrists" and upturned fist poses show up, the manner in which she blocks the bullets almost looks like she is catching them. Humorously, she blocks one bullet from striking Steve and the ricochet landed in Steve's hand, but since it was recently fired it is hot and he reacts accordingly. Wonder Woman 1984: In addition to the usual bullet-blocking, when Diana realizes a bullet got past her and is heading straight for Steve, she catches it with her lasso and throws it back where it came from. SHAZAM! (2019): Dr. Sivana, who has gained superpowers, grabs Billy Batson and holds his head underwater, preventing him from transforming since he can't say Shazam. To save him, Mary tries to shoot Sivana in the eye. Sivana instinctively catches the bullet, but he lets go of Billy to do it, allowing Billy to surface and transform. |

Devil May Cry: Vergil is only hit by bullets if he allows it - his Katana can be wind-milled to stop all bullets fired at him without much effort. Occasionally, he'll send them back. In a cutscene in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Dante catches a bullet in his teeth. This isn't immediately obvious; first he's shown being jerked back by the impact, then he spits the bullet out. |

Variation in Fate/Zero: Kotomine, in his confrontation with Kiritsugu, uses his magically heightened reflexes to block a bullet from Kiritsugu's Mage Killer gun. The bullet still enters his hand, travels down his forearm, and explodes out his elbow, rendering his arm useless, but he manages to prevent it from hitting his face. Evidently, having the speed to catch a bullet doesn't mean your body is tough enough to prevent harm. | |

In Jujutsu Kaisen, when Maki is fighting her sister, Mai, she deflects all six of the bullets loaded in Mai's gun. However, when Mai uses her cursed technique to create a seventh bullet, Maki is caught off guard and is forced to catch the bullet. Since this was a practice battle, Mai was using rubber bullets, which would realistically be slower and less damaging to catch, but Maki may well be able to catch a regular bullet as well. | |

When Poe Dameron tries to shoot Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens, the latter stops Poe's blaster bolt (a pulse of super-heated plasma) before it can reach him. The frozen bolt then hangs in mid-air for a few minutes throughout the next scene, and it is only after Poe is taken prisoner and the other people in his village had been executed that Kylo Ren releases the shot, startling a few Stormtroopers. | |

In The Destroyer series, practitioners of Sinanju catch bullets as training or to show off. When they're being serious, they prefer to dodge or deflect (when guarding someone else) as it's more practical and efficient. As a demonstration in an early book, Chiun catches several hundred rounds of machine-gun fire (not submachine gun, the actual mounted weapon). That wasn't the demonstration, though - the demonstration was on how to polish and neatly stack the caught rounds at the same time. (He'd sent Remo into gang territory to practice being shot at and was upset that some of Remo's caught bullets had scratches or were dirty.) | |

Tenet features a twist on this: the Protagonist sees a wall with bullet holes and holds a gun up. Since the bullets are moving backwards in time, they reverse-fire back into the gun. This is weaponized later when Sator holds a hostage in front of a bullethole, until time reverses to the point where the bullet goes through their body into his gun. | |

In Shadowrun, a short story involved a bounty hunter who was contemplating that he saw two acts right out of legend in a row. He got egged into shooting a Physical Adept who caught his bullet, and then simply flicked it back with enough force to hospitalize the bounty hunter. While players who roll up an adept have access to an ability to catch "slow" projectiles like arrows and shuriken, bullets are outside their capability; and while they can also specialize in throwing weapons, few can actually fling with enough force to neutralize a hardened opponent with one shot. | |

Gunslinger Girl: When a massive bomb goes off during the Venice belltower siege, Petra and Sandro are in a boat on a nearby canal, and Petra catches a piece of flying shrapnel that would have struck her handler in the back (she then drops it into the water, complaining how hot it is). This ability is foreshadowing earlier in the series when someone tests a cyborg's ability to protect their handler by throwing a coin at Jean Croce's back. Even though his cyborg Rico also has her back to the thrower, she turns and catches the coin in mid-air and has her gun aimed in an instant. Jean warns the thrower that he'd be dead if he wasn't with the Agency. | |

No More Heroes: Travis has no problem blocking any bullets flying at him — even ones fired from behind him — so long as you hold that Z button for dear life. In the fight against Dr. Peace, he plays baseball with a bullet and his Beam Katana. Subverted, though, in that he didn't realize it was an exploding shell and gets tossed into the backdrop. |

Hunter × Hunter: Kurapika goes to a mansion to apply for a job, a group of 11 people who wear black hooded robes and masks and are armed with guns and swords suddenly appear and attack him. Using his Dowsing Chain, Kurapika blocks a number of bullets fired at him and jumps onto a chandelier to avoid the sword users and observe the situation. Uvogin demonstrates how tough he is by casually catching a bullet fired at him at point-blank range with his teeth. |

Daredevil: Although easily fast and agile enough, Daredevil lacks the necessary durability to properly pull this off. He does however use his fighting sticks to knock bullets back at the shooter with surgical precision. Before his radar had developed, he even tracked bullets by feeling the way they displaced the air around them. | |

In Dragon Ball, the Muten-Roshi's island gets attacked by the Red Ribbon Army, who think the old man must be the scientist behind the Dragon Radar. A conclusion they reached purely because he's an old man. At one point in the ensuing fight, a soldier opens up at Kame-sen'nin's back with an automatic rifle. The old master spins around and grabs all the bullets without much apparent effort. | |

Foreman catches a bullet fired at him in his teeth, claiming that he learned how to do that when he saw the trick on Earth; the Doctor's companion Sarah Jane Smith points out that nobody really catches bullets in their teeth, but Foreman simply muses that this explains why it took him so long to learn it. | |

In Final Fantasy Tactics, the Blade Grasp ability lets you do this due to a bug. The developers decided it was a Good Bad Bug, and it was kept as an Ascended Glitch in the re-release while other bugs (like the infinite JP glitch) were fixed. And since the success rate of Blade Grasp is based on the character's Bravery stat, the chances of catching bullets can be extremely high (a maxed-out Bravery stat is 97, meaning a 97% chance of success for Blade Grasp). | |

Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger: Because Remnant uses kinetic weapons instead of blasters, Darth Nihilus doesn't bother trying to parry bullets. He instead uses the Force to catch incoming bullets and fling them back at the shooter. A particularly impressive example of this is in Chapter 18 when he stops thousands of Dust rounds mid-air and then uses them to form a protective dome around himself. | |

During his debut episode in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, DekaBreak showed off his skills by catching a couple dozen bullets fired at him by the Monster of the Week in-hand. Similarly, Doggie Kruger has shown to be skilled at manipulating bullets in midair with his sword as DekaMaster, first by catching then flinging a bullet shot at him at the fuse of an armed dynamite pack, saving the Damsel in Distress the bomb was attached to; then by cutting down a good thousand bullets fired at him in such a way that they formed an "X" at his feet. Power Rangers S.P.D. reused the footage of the first two tricks, but they edited the bullets into lasers. It didn't work too badly when DekaMaster's counterpart Shadow Ranger caught the blast on his sword and flung it at the death trap, but Omega Ranger (DekaBreak) dropping caught laser pellets at his feet came off kind of silly. |

In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines: T-850 gets shot in the head, but there's no visible wound. He moves his jaws around a bit, spits out the bullet and tells the shooter "Don't do that." From the looks of it, he was shot in the mouth (although why it didn't tear his lip is a mystery) and the bullet was stopped by the metal of his spine. Presumably it would have ricocheted off his teeth. | |

Arrowverse: The Flash (2014): Unsurprisingly, Barry and other speedsters either dodge or catch a lot of bullets. The first time Barry has to do so, it's a surprise attack from behind and the bullet breaks the skin of his neck before he can stop it. He gets better at it as the show goes on and he keeps improving on his speed. By season four, he's gotten so used to it he looks downright bored. Zoom manages to catch an entire volley of bullets fired by the Central City Police Department with one hand. This happens in the 1990 series as well, which makes Pollux's Stupid Sacrifice all the more jarring. In the Legends of Tomorrow episode "Outlaw Country", Nate, after shrugging off a hail of bullets, catches one in his teeth. In Supergirl (2015), Kara catches bullets shot by criminals and snipers every so often, as shown here◊. During the church fight in Crisis on Earth-X, Wally West not only catches multiple bullets, he throws them back down the barrels of his attackers' guns. |

The anime version of Saint Seiya (although, since even Bronze Saints move at the speed of sound, it's implied they can do it there, too.) Namely: when being shot at with a machine gun, Hyoga merely walks towards his assailant as his Cosmo deflects the bullets. But then, when Seiya is shot at, he catches each and every bullet in his hands, freaking out the enemy when he drops them on the ground. Which of the two is more badass is up to debate. | |
